On Nov. 18, 1953, for instance, CIA doctors who believed that LSD would be a handy drug for humiliating world leaders decided to test the substance on unsuspecting guests at a social gathering of government scientists taking place in Deep Creek Lane, Md. The doctors poured 70 micrograms of LSD into a bottle of brandy set out at the party. "Twenty minutes later," Goliszek writes, the group became "increasingly boisterous," and one guest, Frank Olson, a U.S. Army civilian employee, "felt especially edgy." Olson, in other words, had a bad trip, and over the next few days, his condition worsened. He shuttled between doctors in New York and Washington, depressed and deathly afraid, he told government doctors, to face his family. At 2:30 a.m. one morning, weeks after the party, Olson leaped out of a 10th-floor window at the Statler Hotel in Manhattan, "his secret dying with him until it was eventually uncovered decades later," Goliszek writes.
